245 Front end sounds a bit 'crashy'...any ideas? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be abnormally aspirated on  Sat May 1 17:22 CST 2004 [RELATED]

For lack of a better term, my new '93 245's front end seems a bit crashy. When hitting moderate bumps in the road, it sounds like various items are loose. I'm sure that there are certain wear items on this car that one needs to look at. For instance, the original rear shocks were just removed and replaced. The old hydraulics were 100% shot. Nice change to have replaced them with KYB gas charged shocks. I suspect that the front McPhearson's need replacing, but I wonder too if the looseness might be related to some kind of tower bushing or some other item. Steering seems tight, just kind of loose when you hit a bump and only in the front. Any suggestions? Sure do thank you.

Sincerely,

J. Beechcraft
